Five Human Development and Psychology students will present their research at 116th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Boston, MA this August. They submitted their work for consideration last semester and just found out in the last couple of weeks that it had been accepted for inclusion in the conference. A big PF congratulations goes out to current students Jaimie Henschel, Stephanie Sabinash, and Janet Weidert and recent graduates Amanda Jeske and Kristen Kratcha. Many of these students will be co-presenters with the faculty members attending the conference: Drs. Gurung, Martin, Vespia, and Wilson-Doenges.

UWGB student Erika Linzmeier has won an Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC) Student Initiative Committee scholarship to attend that organization’s prestigious research conference in Montreal, Canada this spring. Erika has been doing work on a national study of college student grief with Professors Illene Noppe and Ryan Martin. Congratulations Erika!!

Finally, Career Services is sponsoring Dining with Professionals: The Do’s and Don’ts of Etiquette, which will be held on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 5:45 p.m. in Fort Howard Hall of the Weidner Center.
